Software Freedom Day

Software Freedom Day is an annual event to celebrate software
freedom and the people behind it around the world. It is also an
event to teach people about the importance of software freedom and
to encourage them to adopt it.

This year, it will take place on the 18th of September, and we urge
you to participate in or organize an event in your local area to
celebrate it.

Women's Caucus internship opportunity

The Women's Caucus is seeking an intern to assist with its work to
increase the number of women involved in free software. This is a
12-week position for the fall, with some flexibility on the start and
end times.

This month we welcome Jose Marchesi as maintainer of the new package
recutils, Mike Gran as maintainer of the new package guile-ncurses, and
long-time maintainers Bruno Haible, Jim Meyering, and Simon Josefsson
adding the new package vc-changelog to their duties.
